Happy Thanksgiving.
No words I type here will be able to put into proper perspective, the amount of gratitude I have for my clients, my friends, my colleagues and for those of you who stumble onto my site in one way or another and appreciate my work. Here’s to hoping that you have ample time to eat too much, make memories with your families and most importantly, breathe.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Nick & Jessica | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
Nick & Jessica's Wedding was a memorable for a number of reasons. The first reason that comes to mind is how many shirts I sweated through on their wedding day. (4, which is a new record for me.) Combine that with the location for their wedding...a beautiful home in South Fayetteville, designed by an understudy of local architect, Fay Jones and the fact that they left their wedding reception on a jet plane and you have a pretty memorable day.
But the biggest reason weddings continue to be memorable for me is because of the people I get to work with. And Nick and Jessica are two of the kindest, most adventurous souls my 12 years of working in this industry and have led me to celebrate with. Congratulations and Best Wishes, you two....thanks for having me.

I hung out with Troy and Marian all day and I honestly loved every minute I spent with them. They are thoughtful, genuine and madly in love with each other. Plus, they do some pretty awesome serious faces. (See above photograph for example). Thanks for allowing me to photograph your celebration you two, it was an honor. Enjoy this (rather lengthy) sneak peek of images.
Cheers.
Austin & Bridget | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Well, Summer is in full swing. And for me, that means more commercial work, a few weddings here and there and some time to hang out with fun engaged couples like Austin and Bridget. We had fun together, hanging out at Block Street Records and dodging thunder storms. Here’s a few images from our afternoon together. Happy Tuesday.
Paxton & Laura | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
Congratulations and Best Wishes to Paxton and Laura who were married recently on a beautiful Saturday that also happened to be Cinco De Mayo. In accordance with the holiday, there was a Sombrero and a couple of fake mustaches on hand and the photographers (Thanks to my good friend Jared Sorrells for spending the day with me) as well as the groomsmen put them to good use during picture time. The weather was nice and the family and friends were even nicer and it was in fact, one of my favorite weddings ever.
But this was without a doubt, the hardest wedding I've ever been a part of as well…

Even with the the rain, Ben and Julie's Wedding was a beautiful start to the year. Congratulations and Best Wishes, you two. Thanks for having me be a part of your beautiful celebration!
Paxton & Laura | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
As photographers, we can't change the weather so we have to roll with the punches. No rain is ideal, but a best case scenario would be a little bit of rain on at the end of engagement photos. That's exactly what happened with Paxton and Laura a couple months back. We made it through 98% of the photoshoot before it started pouring down rain. I enjoyed hanging out with these two immensely and I can't wait to celebrate with them in a couple of months!
Hunter & Lesley | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
Congratulations to Hunter and Lesley. These two recently celebrated their wedding in Downtown Rogers. Their celebration was spread out over the course of two days, beginning with a small, intimate ceremony held in a beautiful and historic old church. After a few pictures together, the couple joined their wedding guests at Levi's Gastrolounge and Low Bar for dinner and dancing. The celebration continued Saturday night with a larger celebration for extended family friends held at Ozark Beer Company. The original plan was to setup outside but due to cold temperatures, the kind folks at Ozark Beer decided to rearrange their entire space to accommodate everyone indoors. This was of course no small task, but the results were incredible. This was my last wedding for the year and definitely one of my all-time favorites.
Thanks to everyone for another wonderful year of weddings and enjoy the photos.
Stephen & Tristen | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Say hello to Stephen and Tristen. To celebrate their engagement, we traveled to one of their (and my) favorite places on earth, The Buffalo River Valley. There, we explored a less-than-stable house, hiked the Lost Valley hiking trail and took a dip in the Buffalo River. (they did, I watched from the shore). Enjoy the photos.
Anna & Macy | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography

Adam & Andria | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
It's been a crazy couple of weeks with weeklong photoshoots and a weeklong beach vacation. But I still had plenty of time to relive Adam and Andria's beautiful Garden Room wedding. Here's a few images from their celebration. Enjoy!
Jeffery & Shelby | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
Today on the blog, I'm excited to share some images from Jeffery and Shelby's wedding. It's been fun getting to know them better throughout the whole process and their celebration at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks was definitely one for the books. Literally. To date, I had never had a bride and groom get soaking wet dancing in the rain together and I had also never had a groom (or anyone for that matter) do their first dance with an Evil Knievel motorcycle helmet. Thanks to Jeff and Shelby, I can add both of those to my "this actually happened at a wedding" list. Also, thanks to Melissa Holmes of Sweet Tea Designs who somehow, manages to keep everything and everyone in good order during every wedding I work with her. (It's because she's a rockstar)
Cheers and enjoy the sneak peek!
Jeff & Sarah | Kansas City Wedding Photography
Congratulations to Jeff and Sarah who were married over the weekend in what I can only describe, as the worst wedding day weather I've encountered in over 10 years of photographing weddings. But that didn't stop them from riding a trolley all over downtown and stopping off for photos. Here's a few from their celebration. Enjoy!
Wes & Sarah | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Tomorrow is tax day. But today is engagement photos on the blog day. Here's a few of my favorites with Wes and Sarah. Enjoy!

Novo Studio Video Short | Northwest Arkansas Photography
For years, I've had the idea in my head to make a video for Novo Studio. The idea for the video was inspired by a voicemail message I created years ago that, in my mind, accurately describes why I would not be answering my phone. And to have a video that started from the voicemail message and then, journeyed into my life as a photographer and as a person seemed to make sense. Plus, I could put some music to it and avoid the awkward challenge of talking about myself and my business.
But of course, life happened and with an incredibly busy season and twins, my idea remained an idea until I decided to take a creative sabbatical. When writing out my sabbatical bucket list, the creation of this video went right to the top and with the help of my dear friends and creative colleagues and my wife, I am happy to (FINALLY) share this video with you. Many thanks to Bryan Fittin, Jason Miller, Murray Williams and Kristen Thomas for making this whole thing possible. Enjoy.
